从表面上来看，里弗斯已经达到了恶心火箭队的目的了，但我一直认为他是被高估的一位教练，虽然他曾经带领波士顿凯尔特人队拿到一枚冠军戒指，但他也曾经两次在三比一大比分领先的情况下，被对手翻盘，这样的表现远远配不上冠军教练的美名。

From appearances it seems like Rivers is really out to get the Rockets, but I've always thought he was overestimated as a coach.

这种尊严同时体现在对公司销售人员的要求上，销售人员必须举止得体、彬彬有礼，正如波尔顿著名的训练员工的备忘录里所说：既不要像收税官那样不苟言笑，也不能像算命先生一样油腔滑调……

This dignity is also reflected in the demands on the company’s sales staff. Each salesperson must behave well and be polite, as Bolton’s famous staff training memo says: “Don’t be as frightful as the tax collector, or as slippery as a fortune-teller."

还算有点常识呀你，狭义相对论是爱因斯坦在广义相对论发现前十年制定的，当时已令人震惊地揭示了时间的流逝并非绝对，但与牛顿在1687年所阐述的经典引力定律，在许多方面都不一致。

So you do have some general knowledge. Special relativity was defined by Einstein ten years before he came to the theory of general relativity. At that time, he'd already revealed to everyone's surprise that the flow of time was not absolute, but it was also not entirely the same as the classic laws of gravitation which he described in 1687, in many aspects.
